A circular to ihc citizens of the 1'uited States has bom published in the Columbus papnrs, B'gueil hy several "citizens of Ohio, assembled from various parts of the State at the Feat of government, upon busineii.." It is entitled, "Democratic Republican Recommendation," and recommends Iho Hon. John .McLean to the consideration of tho people of this government, as n euitnbla candidate fir ihoollicouf President. The signers pledge themselves to his support only in case of his being the candidate most likely tu unite tho strength of tho Whig parly, as will he seen from the subjoined extract. I his circular is sijrnnil by ciirli'y-nine persons, lil'ly seven of whom are members of the General Assembly. Urbtma. Record.The PuiamENcv.

We do not wih hare to be understood as bringing .Mr McLean before the people as a man, who in, or not, to he supported hy the people, in this section 01' the 'State, but barely to shuw the opinions of otiiers, without regnru to our own private preference. ,'louiit yernoa (Jazcllc. The next Presidency. Among the important articles which wo insert incur paper this week, that bearing the signatures of a majority of tho members uf our State Legislature, and also of other prominent individuals from different portions of tho State, now at the sent of government, will doubtless attract much attention. It is truly in one sense or other, an important paper. Whether the measure will prove to have been a judicious one, remains to be seen. The presentation of our fcllow-cilizon John McLean, to the Whig pnny of the union, as a cunuiiiato lur the Presidency byo lurgo a number of the prominent mem bersofthe party in the Slate, brings him. wo suppose, fuirly into the field; and his popularity may now bo ascertained, and the lecliugs ol the public towards linn will now be elicited, whatever else may bo the result. Cleveluiia lying. The Presidency. Our readers will find a recommendation of the HON. JOHN" McLl'.AN as a candidate for tho Presiden cy in to-day's paper. The source from which it emanates must entitle it to con eidorable weight. It lias been observed, as a reason why tho distinguished individual above named should not bo taken upusthe Whig candid ate, that he has no strength of hit own in the West. Those making this declaration may be deceived, in this matter, lluing prepossessed themselves in lavor of another man their own feelings may have Bwayed thuir judgment. .Suppose, however, that there aro but few who idoliic him, is that an objection! Surely not. The time for man-wonhip has gone by. Blind devotion to the interests of mm, and a rock lussuuss of tho leading interests uf the country, has cursed the laud long enough, ami tho sooner such Icelings are buried in oblivion, the better for the People. Tho People, from ono extreme of the Union to the other, know John .McLean to he a straight forward, honest, active business man, with talents eminently qualifying him to fill the post tu which he is nominated. As Post Master General, ho proved himself a faithful and efficient public servant, and inspired a confidence in tho peoplo for integrity which they well remember.In selecting a candidate fhrtlio Presidency the Whigs should not bo over anxious to sot up au idul. Their irinciilc must receive all their devotion. Their man is only a secondary consideration. Hut ho must bo devutcd to their principles. And John McLean is thus devoted, li'ing a Democrat of the Old School, the promotion of tho inlerosls of the People, and tho per manency ol our Kupubhc, will be the objects nearest his heart. Ono important consideration in tho se lection of the Whig cmdidato is to take up a man In whom the people liavo conn dence. A Southern man niuuof receive a general support in the northern and west- urn States. I ho l'ooplo nvcM prcler tho 1iiricKiu to a Southern man. Ohio is sup posed to hold Ilia President making power, to a considerable extent, in her own hands. JOHN McLEAN, wo have no doubt, is her choice, and wo hnpo other States will bo governed in their movements accordingly. CWit Telegraph. We congratulate the friends of Judgo McLean, on tho Into proceedings at Columbus, an account of which Wo publish to day from tho Sentinel, wtlisomo able and correct remarks by tho Kditor of that paper. Ohio having commenced the campaign by this demonstration of feeling iu behalf of John McLean, will bo lullowed by his sister Stntos, and ore tliodiU'erent Legislatures shall havo risen from their winter duties, we doubt not but that the strongest augu-rios will bo given by thorn, from which to infer his ultimato compleloand triumphant success at tho next Presidential contest.

In another column will be found a rccominmcndation of Judge McLoan for the Presidency, signed by a maioritv of members of tho Legislature, and by other gentlemen from various parts of tho Stato whom business had drawn to Columbus. Sufficient tiuio has not yet in tervened to allord opportunity 01 judging bow this nomination is received by the opponents of the administration in this Stat" gonerally. Enough, however, is known to warrant the beliet that tno Judge .McLean is not the first choice of large number 0! tho Whig party in this State, yot between him and Mr Van Burcn they would very generally (pcrhnps not unanimously) prefer Hie loriner, wciicm aiar. TnE next Presidency. It gives us much pleasure In lay uctoro our renders the address of a majority of the members ol the Ohio Legislature, and other distin guished citizens of ihe Slnto, recommending tho Hon. JOHN Mcl.EAN lo the voters of the United Stales as a candidate for the next Presidency. The ixtracts from various papers throughout Iho State, given in our columns, allord ample proot that the nomination will be re-ponded to by all who are unwilling that ill's Kinder-hook Aristocrat nud I'riiice of J)emit"0F".?s shall rule over them, !t is faiii iiiul New Jersey will follow in the nomination; nnd we doubt not hut that Iho selection will he adopted by the friends of tho constitution throughout the Union Hamilton Intelli gencer. Ihe Presidency. It will ho seen by an article on our outer form, that tho Hon. John McLean, of this State, has been l'or inally brought forward as a candidate lor tho ollice of l'rosidentof tho V. Statos. It emanates from Columbus and bears the signatures of a large portiun of the members of the Legislature, and of other highly res pectable citizens Irom uillercnt parts uf the Stato. It is doubtless liino fjr tho peoplo to bo casting nbout with a viow to the so- I lection of a proper candidate fur the next Presidency; and if so, we Bhnuld suppose that this recommendation commended itself to the respectful notice of all such as dosiro a revolution in our public councils. e do not know of any ono whom we should think more likely to unite I lie patriotic of all parties in the great work of at tempting to redeem our lallen institutions, than Judge .McLean. We presume, nt least, that no other Ytestern man will be soriously thought of; for although tho in- tellig'iit friends ol Air Clay, both here and every whero, still cherish him with una bated confidence, they must, wo think, though reluctantly, renounce all hopo of ever placing him in the public station to which his unrivaled genius and great public services entitle liiin. Next to that great man, we believe Judgo McLean to linvu tho strongest pretensions ill the West, and that, iu point of general popularity, he is without a rivol JVetoar limette. UNITED STATUS AND FRANCK. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE O.V FOREIGX RELATIONS.,Mr. CLAY, Irom the Committee of Foreign Relations, made the following Re-porl:The Commitleo of Foreign Relations have, according to order, had under considera tion that part ol the Message ot the Pre sident of the United States, which refers to tho present stale of our rotations with France; and hiving attentively examined the correspondence which has passed be tween the two Governments, communicated to Congress, and deliberated on the whole subject with nn earnestness commensurate with the high respect due to the views of tho Chief Magistrate, and demanded by Ihe delicacy of tho questions, and tho magnitude of the interests involved, beg leave now to submit the following Report: The cnuimittoo must, iu the first place, express their entire concurrence with the President, as to the justice of the claims of the citizens of tho United States, for which indemnity is stipulated by tho treaty of the 4th of July, 1SJI. They had their origin in a series of measures of the French Government, which prostrated the clearest prin doles of public law, and violated the most solemn engagements, consecrated by pled ges of national lailli. J ho veil, by winch their enormity was attempted to be covered, ol prior aggressions authorized or mulcted upon the neutral commerce of the United States, by the enemy ol r ranee, was too thin to create tho slightest deception. No thing, in the conduct of one belligerent, can justify the perpetration of an injury upon an innocent third party; but, even it an over ruling necessity of self preservation should in any caso, prompt the infliction of such an injury, nothing could excuse it, but ample and immedialo reparation. At the period when theso aggressions ivere committed, tho U. States would have stood fully justifi ed, in the face of tho wholo world, if they had appealed to arms to avenge their wrongs and vindicate their rights. And it is known to those who are convorsant with Iho histo ry of the 1 imes, that a resort to hostilo measures against Franco was seriously consider ed, and actually proposed iu tho councils of the United Statos. It was doomed oxpcdient not to adopt thorn, but to declaro war against the other belligerent. This selec tion of their cnoiny, by the Government of tho United States, did not proceed Irom any insensibility to the injuries of France; but was promptod by a conviction that a waj with Franco, in the actual condition of things, would be unattended with any practical consequences; whilst Great Britain, it was believed, might bo made to fool the effects of her more violent and unjust measures.Whilst, howover, tho Government of the United Sla'cs felt itself constrained, by prudential considerations, to abstain from an appeal to arms, at that period, against Franco, it resolved never to acqoiosce in tho injustice which citizens of tho United States had experienced at tho bands of France; but unremittingly to porsovcro in demanding the indemnity, to which they wero justly entitled. It was duo to ancient relations with France, to tho intorests of the two countries, and to tho nature of the case, since tho injuries wero not resented when thoy wero fresh, that redress should bo first sought by friendly negotiation. As early as leU'J, a distinguished cilizon of the United States was deputed to France, w hen tho power of her Kmperor was at its greatest height, to demand satisfaction. His sudden and unexpected doath, probably prevented the accomplishment of tho object of his mission. From that period, down to the signaturo of the treaty under consideration, every American Administration, andavory American Minister at Paris, with the exception of a short period of forbearance, dictated by delicacy and friendly toolings towards France, have earnestly pressed for the indemnity to which we are entitled. From the multitude and the naturo of the aggressions committed by France, it ia difficult to ascortain, at this day, their precise amount; and it never, probably, can bo exactly vcriliod, even by judicial investigation, owing to tho loss ol evidence and other causes. But the commitloo concur, per fectly, with tho President, in the opinion he has expressed in his Message, that it lb "absolutely certain that the indemnity lalls far short of the actual amount of our just claims, independently of damages and interest for ihe detention." Duting the progress of the negotiation, and at the moment of signing Iho treaty, tho American Minister, who concluded it, had ill his possession authentic documentary evidence, demonstrating that 1 lie measure of indemnity was fnr below tho measure of wrong. The President is, therefore, fully justified in saying, "that the settlement involved a sacrifice, in this respoct, was well kno.vn at Ihe tunc. Although the commission which has been created to decide on tho claims, has not yet closed its labors, enough has been already disclosed to establish that this sa crifice ia even greater than that which tho American Minister ought to have known at the signaturo of tho treaty. Nevertheless, intelligence ot the conclu sion of the treaty was received in the United States by the people and their councils, with general satistaclion. 1 line blunts the force of injuries; the aggressor and his vic tim alike fall boncath the unsparing scythe; and tho peoplo of the United States saw in Iho treaty at least a partial, though tardy justico rendered to those injured citizens, who yet linger behind, and to the descendants of those who died unredressed. Above all, tho peoplo of the United States saw, in the treaty, tho removal of the only obstacle to the restoration of that perfect har mony with France, which has ever been near their hearts. Never, on this sido of the ocean, could tho people of the United States bolievo that a treaty which, at least upon its face, after its mutual ratification, bore all tho solemnities of a perfect obligation of both parties, was 10 be vioiaied on the other side. So confident was Congress of its faithful exes cution, that it hastened lo pass the laws ne cessary Iu give to t ranee the full advantage of tbo stipulations inserted for her benefit, and lo render tho sums stipulated to be paid to Atnericati citizens os available as possible. Congress also provided by law that, when ihe installments should bo received, llicy should be invested in a productive lunrl. It was prior to litis latter provision, that 1 tie Secrotary of tho Treasury mado a droft, in favor of iho Bank ol Hie United S'ates, upon the Treasury of France, for the first installment which was protested. Itmiehthave been delicate towards France; it certainly would havo been more fortunate, if this draft had not been made, until information had been obtained of Iho necessary appropriation, by the French Chambers, to meet it; but the committee aro unanimously of opinion that tho mode adopted, was fully justified by the Icuns of Iho trealy, and that noobjoctiun cgaiust it can bo fairly draivn from Ihem. Near two years have elapsed since, on the xii of February, ISU-J, the first installment of the indemnity became duo, without any provision hints discharge. During tho greater part of this time, from the moment uf the protest of the draft, the American Government has strenuously urged upon Franco the fulfillment of the trealy; and it is with profound regret that the committee liud that its earnest endeavors havo hitherto been unsuccessful. The President justly reinirks, that the idea of acquiescing iu the refusal of Ihe execution of the treaty, will not (or a moment bo entertained by any branch id the American Government. The Uuited Slates can never abandon the pursuit of claims, founded on tho most aggravated wrongs, And if, contrary to all iusl expectations. Franco should persist in the non-lulfil Imcnt of tho treaty, when negotiation shall be completely exhausted, it will then become the bounuen and painful duly of the United Stales to consider what measures are called for, on the occasion, by iheir honor, their inierests, and the justice due lo their injured citizens. The period, in tho opinion of the President. nas nirenuy nrriteu mr entertaining 111c 0011 siderutioii of this momentous oiiestion. It is his conviction "that the United Stales ought to insist on a prompt execution of the treaty, anil, in case it be refused, or longer delayed, take redress in their own hands." And ho noenrdingly recoinineuds "that n law be passed authorizing reprisals upon French property, in onse provision shall not ho mado for the payment of the debt nt (he approaching session of the French Chambers." These reprisals would not, in the opinion of Ihe President, give to Franco any just causo for war; but if she should couliniiu to refuse uu act of acknowledged justice, nnd, "in violation of the law of nations, make reprisals on our pari, tin) occasion of hostilities ngainst tho United Slates, she would hut add violence to injustice, nnd could not fail to expose herself lo Iho just cvnsuro of civilized nations, and to the retributive judgments of henven." The President does not present this course of reprisals as the only one for the considera tion of Congress. He says, "if it shnll bo tho pleasure of Congress to await the further action of the French Chambers, no further consideration of the subject will, nt this session, probably bo required at your hands." And, in conclusion to this part of his mes- sago, he repeals, that "it belongs to Congress to uooiiio whether, niter what has taken place, jt will still await the further action of; Ihe French Chambers, or now adopt such pro, visional measures at it may deem necessary, and best ndapted to protect the rights nnd maintain the honor of the country. What ever that decision may be, it will bo faith fully enforced by tho F.xecutive, at fnr at he it Hiithoriied to to do." That the President states, fur the oonsido ration of Congress, two measures; one contemplating further furbenrance, nnd Ihe con-tiniianoo of friendly negotiation and peace, ami the other, although provisional and contingent, involving the possible, liuiard el war. Tho committee are happy to agreo fully with Ihe I'rcsidenl, "that our institution are essentially pacific. Pcaco and friendly inter-cuurso with all nntions, areas much tho desire of our Government, as they are the interest uf our people." Hut, if it bo the true policy of tha United Statet, to prnctioo tho greatett moderation and forbearance towards all nations, and tu consider war at a calamity never to be resorted to but in extreme casos, what additional force dn these sentiments acquire, when applied to France, our ancient ally and friend, for whom the people nf tho United Statin cherish "tho most grateful nnd honorable rucollectiont utsoeiatcd with our struggle for independence." Entertaining these views, tho committee have considered it to be their Arst duty attentively to examine the pacilio liranob of the alternative presents I by tho President, to discover whether there was any rational hope that, hy the oicrcisc of further patience, the hasanlt of war might bo prevented. The) hnve, in ounsnqneiioe, carefully permed the whole correspondence, submitted b the resident lo the Senate, between Ihe' two Go-veinmenls, to find wit, if they could, the oiiues of the oxtra- nlinary ih lay which has occurred in the executim of the treaty, nn I whether ihero was any prospect nf their ultimate lemoval. They have dune mure; they felt it to Iw their duty lo exaniiuo tho correspondence as far us it wnt uocessiblo to them, which preceded us well as that which followed the conclusion of the tieuty,tu seo ifthore cause were altogether unforeseen and unexpected.It Hppt nrs from a dispatch of Mr Rivu to Ihc Secretary of Slate, under dale the IBth September, IUJ0, at his first interview with the French Secretary of Foreign Ami in, after the revolution which placed the present King of France nn the throne, tliHt Ibis French intniitor suid, that he thought Hint the principle of indemnity would be admitted, hut that tho amount of the claims was a very oomph x question, depending on a treat variety of considerations, and rcnuiiimr minora and deluded examination; "Unit be believed am claims would encounter mnoh li st opposition with the Government, (meaning the iiiig 11110 nis luinisieis,; man Willi Hie (Jhani-hen: that he hart thought it I the orginiznlion of a cotnmis'ion to examine the subject, consisting ot members of both Chambers, as the best means of preparing these bodies for an ultimate decision ; and that he should submit the proposition, at an early day, tu the council." In a siihsiniiciit ilisoatch uf Mr kive.. of Ihe 9th November, 1B30, he says, "tfia dispositions ul Ihe King, as well Willi regnrd to this tubje it (the American claims,) as lo Ihe generul relations between Ihe two cnuu, tries, are every thing we could desire. The difficulty exists in the extreme reliiotanoe of me nation lo par nnr more indemnities. n,l the necessity which Ihe Government feels it- self under of consulting the representatives of Ihe niitiun,aiid of securing their approbation to nny iirinngcinent uhich may he nils'- inaieiy couciuoeo. i no commission, or Ihe formation nf which, I have already apprized you, has grown entirely out ot this feeling s On tb" occasion of an iimliinee wifh Iho King, Mrltivs, in his dispatch of the I8:h January, Iflll, .ajsihut the King,in replying to hi! remark, "reiterated the sentiments he had heritoforo rx resei tome, nnd referred to thp measures he h id taken, with a view to, bring the ih rencs tu-i-v en Ihe two countries to a cuiieluiioii ." nT,e King proceeded lo sny Ihat, since reading tho Pre ident's messngo, he hnd "remonstrated' acaiii.l nil imneeeMiiry delays in the prose, eutiou nf the hu.iuis., und assuring me Ihat every thing should be done, on his part, to hrin j it to the enrliest termination, notwithstanding H,c disastrous state rf their finances " Tho cnintrlitinn appointed (o examine r ur claims, made their report. The majority of four, rejeeiine our olaitn growing out of the . Berlin and Milan decrees, us well at Ihe Rarahnuillel, and nlhcr special decrees, csti-inaicd Ihe sum to which they supposed the United States lo he fairly i nlit'ed, according lo Mr River, at between ten und fifteen millions nf frme.t, uud the minority of two, ndinitling the claim', rijeolctl by their colleagues, at thirty millions. In mi iuicmew between the French Minitler uf Foreigu Affairs nnd Mr Rives, described in hi dispatch of the Will of April, 83i, tho minister "tpok6 of the intrinsic difficulty ef nil money qnet. tion in a representative government, increased in Iho present instance by the iilurist unanimous report of the commission. ' In another interview with Ihe President of tbo Council of Ministers, described iu tbeSMma dispatch of Mrltivis, Mr Pernor said, He felt nil the importance of cultivating good relations with Ihe United Stales; and that ho was sincerely desirous of adjusting ibis undent controversy ; but that their finances, as I saw, wero exceedingly deranged ; and that there would be great difficulty in rccon. eilini the Chamber of Dnpu'ies lo an additional charge, on Ihe snft'f bled resources of Ihe State, for claims, too, which had nut arisen from nny wrong done by the present Government of France ' In the snmc dispatch, Mr Rivet reports, "the King expreitrd. at he lint always done, very cordial senli. mentt for tho United Slates ; said he had fro-quently called Ihe attention of his Ministers to Ihe necessity of settling our reclamations; that (hny had always objected the embarrassed stale of tho (iiiiincc,hut he hoprd they would yet find tha meant of doing justice. in a dispatch of Mr Hives of Ihe 7lh (May, IR3l,ocmmntiicnting Ihc offer of twenty millions of linnet, in .'nil satisfaction of our claim, and his declining to accept it, he ttatet the Frcnoh minitler to have replied, "that the ulfer h had just made wat one of extreme libcrnlily; Ihat it would subject the ministers ton sevuro responsibility before Ihe Chambers; that he had been alreuily warned from various qiiarlcis, that lie would be htlil loa strict acoouiit for hit leltlement of Ibis affair." Iu Ihe tame dispatch, Mr Rivet dc tails a conversation which he had had with tho ('resilient of the council respecting the amount of nor claims, in which he mid "that it wnt particularly haul that the burden of their adjustment should now fall upon the existing Government, in Ihe pretrnt crippled stato of ill resources, and when nil of its ex. pensot ware upon war fooling; and that it wat certainly nut (he interest of either nun. try to make an arrangement which the Iciit- uuiuuiuj ueiu ujigui rciuie to carry into execution." ' In another dispatch of Mr Rirct, of the 20lh May, IH3I, he relalet a conversation in an interview with Iho I'rcsidenl of Ihe Council. That Minister, Mr Rivet stales, "then said, Ihat hut for the Chambers thcro would be less difficulty iu arranging this quoslion; but that hn apprehended a very serious on position to it on their part, which might t. n more seriously embroil tho relations uf the iwo cuuniries, oy reiusiug to carry into eje-cution any annnitciuen't nhich should be made." He added, "that two mouths sooner or Inter, could not be ol muoh importance in the settlement ol Hut question, and asked ma if there would be nny objection lo adjourning ill decision till the meeting of the Chambers, when the ministers could have an op. porlunily of consulting tomoof the lending member! of tho (wo Houses." This postponement wat objected to by Mr Rivet, nod wnt not insisted upon. During Ihe progress of the negotiation, the prinoiplo of indemnity wat early oonoeded. Tho Frenoh minister first offered fifteen mil. lions of francs. Mr Rivet demanded forty. The French minister advanced lo twenty, to twenty-four, nnd finally, with eltrcmo reluo-tnncc, to twenty live, At tho point of twenty four, Mr Rivet cnuiD down to Ihirty-two at (he medium ht tween the Iwo proposals. At thai of twenty-five the Frcnoh mirislcn an-nnunced it as Iheir ullimntum; nnd, in a, ditpalohof Mr Rivet of Ihe 14th June, 1831, he reporti the French minister to have laid, "that It wat tha opinion of tho most cnligh. tened ami influential men, membon of both Chambers, that the offer of twenty.foiir mill, lions, heretofore made, was greatly too much i hat-, , , , and other lead. ing nieinovrs nf Ihe ono Chamber nt the other, whom he mentioned, hud already expressed that opinion to him, uud pmphali. e illy warned him of Iho tenons mfTicnlliri tr which this affair would expose ministers.."

Among the important articles which wo insert incur paper this week, that bearing the signatures of a majority of tho members uf our State Legislature, and also of other prominent individuals from different portions of tho State, now at the sent of government, will doubtless attract much attention. It is truly in one sense or other, an important paper. Whether the measure will prove to have been a judicious one, remains to be seen. The presentation of our fcllow-cilizon John McLean, to the Whig pnny of the union, as a cunuiiiato lur the Presidency byo lurgo a number of the prominent mem bersofthe party in the Slate, brings him. wo suppose, fuirly into the field; and his popularity may now bo ascertained, and the lecliugs ol the public towards linn will now be elicited, whatever else may bo the result. Cleveluiia lying. The Presidency. Our readers will find a recommendation of the HON. JOHN" McLl'.AN as a candidate for tho Presiden cy in to-day's paper. The source from which it emanates must entitle it to con eidorable weight. It lias been observed, as a reason why tho distinguished individual above named should not bo taken upusthe Whig candid ate, that he has no strength of hit own in the West. Those making this declaration may be deceived, in this matter, lluing prepossessed themselves in lavor of another man their own feelings may have Bwayed thuir judgment. .Suppose, however, that there aro but few who idoliic him, is that an objection! Surely not. The time for man-wonhip has gone by. Blind devotion to the interests of mm, and a rock lussuuss of tho leading interests uf the country, has cursed the laud long enough, ami tho sooner such Icelings are buried in oblivion, the better for the People. Tho People, from ono extreme of the Union to the other, know John .McLean to he a straight forward, honest, active business man, with talents eminently qualifying him to fill the post tu which he is nominated. As Post Master General, ho proved himself a faithful and efficient public servant, and inspired a confidence in tho peoplo for integrity which they well remember.In selecting a candidate fhrtlio Presidency the Whigs should not bo over anxious to sot up au idul. Their irinciilc must receive all their devotion. Their man is only a secondary consideration. Hut ho must bo devutcd to their principles. And John McLean is thus devoted, li'ing a Democrat of the Old School, the promotion of tho inlerosls of the People, and tho per manency ol our Kupubhc, will be the objects nearest his heart. Ono important consideration in tho se lection of the Whig cmdidato is to take up a man In whom the people liavo conn dence.

UNITED STATUS AND FRANCK. REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE O.V FOREIGX RELATIONS.,Mr. CLAY, Irom the Committee of Foreign Relations, made the following Re-porl:The Commitleo of Foreign Relations have, according to order, had under considera tion that part ol the Message ot the Pre sident of the United States, which refers to tho present stale of our rotations with France; and hiving attentively examined the correspondence which has passed be tween the two Governments, communicated to Congress, and deliberated on the whole subject with nn earnestness commensurate with the high respect due to the views of tho Chief Magistrate, and demanded by Ihe delicacy of tho questions, and tho magnitude of the interests involved, beg leave now to submit the following Report: The cnuimittoo must, iu the first place, express their entire concurrence with the President, as to the justice of the claims of the citizens of tho United States, for which indemnity is stipulated by tho treaty of the 4th of July, 1SJI. They had their origin in a series of measures of the French Government, which prostrated the clearest prin doles of public law, and violated the most solemn engagements, consecrated by pled ges of national lailli. J ho veil, by winch their enormity was attempted to be covered, ol prior aggressions authorized or mulcted upon the neutral commerce of the United States, by the enemy ol r ranee, was too thin to create tho slightest deception. No thing, in the conduct of one belligerent, can justify the perpetration of an injury upon an innocent third party; but, even it an over ruling necessity of self preservation should in any caso, prompt the infliction of such an injury, nothing could excuse it, but ample and immedialo reparation. At the period when theso aggressions ivere committed, tho U. States would have stood fully justifi ed, in the face of tho wholo world, if they had appealed to arms to avenge their wrongs and vindicate their rights. And it is known to those who are convorsant with Iho histo ry of the 1 imes, that a resort to hostilo measures against Franco was seriously consider ed, and actually proposed iu tho councils of the United Statos. It was doomed oxpcdient not to adopt thorn, but to declaro war against the other belligerent. This selec tion of their cnoiny, by the Government of tho United States, did not proceed Irom any insensibility to the injuries of France; but was promptod by a conviction that a waj with Franco, in the actual condition of things, would be unattended with any practical consequences; whilst Great Britain, it was believed, might bo made to fool the effects of her more violent and unjust measures.Whilst, howover, tho Government of the United Sla'cs felt itself constrained, by prudential considerations, to abstain from an appeal to arms, at that period, against Franco, it resolved never to acqoiosce in tho injustice which citizens of tho United States had experienced at tho bands of France; but unremittingly to porsovcro in demanding the indemnity, to which they wero justly entitled. It was duo to ancient relations with France, to tho intorests of the two countries, and to tho nature of the case, since tho injuries wero not resented when thoy wero fresh, that redress should bo first sought by friendly negotiation. As early as leU'J, a distinguished cilizon of the United States was deputed to France, w hen tho power of her Kmperor was at its greatest height, to demand satisfaction. His sudden and unexpected doath, probably prevented the accomplishment of tho object of his mission. From that period, down to the signaturo of the treaty under consideration, every American Administration, andavory American Minister at Paris, with the exception of a short period of forbearance, dictated by delicacy and friendly toolings towards France, have earnestly pressed for the indemnity to which we are entitled. From the multitude and the naturo of the aggressions committed by France, it ia difficult to ascortain, at this day, their precise amount; and it never, probably, can bo exactly vcriliod, even by judicial investigation, owing to tho loss ol evidence and other causes. But the commitloo concur, per fectly, with tho President, in the opinion he has expressed in his Message, that it lb "absolutely certain that the indemnity lalls far short of the actual amount of our just claims, independently of damages and interest for ihe detention." Duting the progress of the negotiation, and at the moment of signing Iho treaty, tho American Minister, who concluded it, had ill his possession authentic documentary evidence, demonstrating that 1 lie measure of indemnity was fnr below tho measure of wrong. The President is, therefore, fully justified in saying, "that the settlement involved a sacrifice, in this respoct, was well kno.vn at Ihe tunc. Although the commission which has been created to decide on tho claims, has not yet closed its labors, enough has been already disclosed to establish that this sa crifice ia even greater than that which tho American Minister ought to have known at the signaturo of tho treaty. Nevertheless, intelligence ot the conclu sion of the treaty was received in the United States by the people and their councils, with general satistaclion. 1 line blunts the force of injuries; the aggressor and his vic tim alike fall boncath the unsparing scythe; and tho peoplo of the United States saw in Iho treaty at least a partial, though tardy justico rendered to those injured citizens, who yet linger behind, and to the descendants of those who died unredressed. Above all, tho peoplo of the United States saw, in the treaty, tho removal of the only obstacle to the restoration of that perfect har mony with France, which has ever been near their hearts. Never, on this sido of the ocean, could tho people of the United States bolievo that a treaty which, at least upon its face, after its mutual ratification, bore all tho solemnities of a perfect obligation of both parties, was 10 be vioiaied on the other side. So confident was Congress of its faithful exes cution, that it hastened lo pass the laws ne cessary Iu give to t ranee the full advantage of tbo stipulations inserted for her benefit, and lo render tho sums stipulated to be paid to Atnericati citizens os available as possible. Congress also provided by law that, when ihe installments should bo received, llicy should be invested in a productive lunrl. It was prior to litis latter provision, that 1 tie Secrotary of tho Treasury mado a droft, in favor of iho Bank ol Hie United S'ates, upon the Treasury of France, for the first installment which was protested. Itmiehthave been delicate towards France; it certainly would havo been more fortunate, if this draft had not been made, until information had been obtained of Iho necessary appropriation, by the French Chambers, to meet it; but the committee aro unanimously of opinion that tho mode adopted, was fully justified by the Icuns of Iho trealy, and that noobjoctiun cgaiust it can bo fairly draivn from Ihem. Near two years have elapsed since, on the xii of February, ISU-J, the first installment of the indemnity became duo, without any provision hints discharge. During tho greater part of this time, from the moment uf the protest of the draft, the American Government has strenuously urged upon Franco the fulfillment of the trealy; and it is with profound regret that the committee liud that its earnest endeavors havo hitherto been unsuccessful. The President justly reinirks, that the idea of acquiescing iu the refusal of Ihe execution of the treaty, will not (or a moment bo entertained by any branch id the American Government. The Uuited Slates can never abandon the pursuit of claims, founded on tho most aggravated wrongs, And if, contrary to all iusl expectations. Franco should persist in the non-lulfil Imcnt of tho treaty, when negotiation shall be completely exhausted, it will then become the bounuen and painful duly of the United Stales to consider what measures are called for, on the occasion, by iheir honor, their inierests, and the justice due lo their injured citizens. The period, in tho opinion of the President. nas nirenuy nrriteu mr entertaining 111c 0011 siderutioii of this momentous oiiestion. It is his conviction "that the United Stales ought to insist on a prompt execution of the treaty, anil, in case it be refused, or longer delayed, take redress in their own hands." And ho noenrdingly recoinineuds "that n law be passed authorizing reprisals upon French property, in onse provision shall not ho mado for the payment of the debt nt (he approaching session of the French Chambers." These reprisals would not, in the opinion of Ihe President, give to Franco any just causo for war; but if she should couliniiu to refuse uu act of acknowledged justice, nnd, "in violation of the law of nations, make reprisals on our pari, tin) occasion of hostilities ngainst tho United Slates, she would hut add violence to injustice, nnd could not fail to expose herself lo Iho just cvnsuro of civilized nations, and to the retributive judgments of henven." The President does not present this course of reprisals as the only one for the considera tion of Congress. He says, "if it shnll bo tho pleasure of Congress to await the further action of the French Chambers, no further consideration of the subject will, nt this session, probably bo required at your hands." And, in conclusion to this part of his mes- sago, he repeals, that "it belongs to Congress to uooiiio whether, niter what has taken place, jt will still await the further action of; Ihe French Chambers, or now adopt such pro, visional measures at it may deem necessary, and best ndapted to protect the rights nnd maintain the honor of the country. What ever that decision may be, it will bo faith fully enforced by tho F.xecutive, at fnr at he it Hiithoriied to to do." That the President states, fur the oonsido ration of Congress, two measures; one contemplating further furbenrance, nnd Ihe con-tiniianoo of friendly negotiation and peace, ami the other, although provisional and contingent, involving the possible, liuiard el war. Tho committee are happy to agreo fully with Ihe I'rcsidenl, "that our institution are essentially pacific. Pcaco and friendly inter-cuurso with all nntions, areas much tho desire of our Government, as they are the interest uf our people." Hut, if it bo the true policy of tha United Statet, to prnctioo tho greatett moderation and forbearance towards all nations, and tu consider war at a calamity never to be resorted to but in extreme casos, what additional force dn these sentiments acquire, when applied to France, our ancient ally and friend, for whom the people nf tho United Statin cherish "tho most grateful nnd honorable rucollectiont utsoeiatcd with our struggle for independence." Entertaining these views, tho committee have considered it to be their Arst duty attentively to examine the pacilio liranob of the alternative presents I by tho President, to discover whether there was any rational hope that, hy the oicrcisc of further patience, the hasanlt of war might bo prevented. The) hnve, in ounsnqneiioe, carefully permed the whole correspondence, submitted b the resident lo the Senate, between Ihe' two Go-veinmenls, to find wit, if they could, the oiiues of the oxtra- nlinary ih lay which has occurred in the executim of the treaty, nn I whether ihero was any prospect nf their ultimate lemoval. They have dune mure; they felt it to Iw their duty lo exaniiuo tho correspondence as far us it wnt uocessiblo to them, which preceded us well as that which followed the conclusion of the tieuty,tu seo ifthore cause were altogether unforeseen and unexpected.It Hppt nrs from a dispatch of Mr Rivu to Ihc Secretary of Slate, under dale the IBth September, IUJ0, at his first interview with the French Secretary of Foreign Ami in, after the revolution which placed the present King of France nn the throne, tliHt Ibis French intniitor suid, that he thought Hint the principle of indemnity would be admitted, hut that tho amount of the claims was a very oomph x question, depending on a treat variety of considerations, and rcnuiiimr minora and deluded examination; "Unit be believed am claims would encounter mnoh li st opposition with the Government, (meaning the iiiig 11110 nis luinisieis,; man Willi Hie (Jhani-hen: that he hart thought it I the orginiznlion of a cotnmis'ion to examine the subject, consisting ot members of both Chambers, as the best means of preparing these bodies for an ultimate decision ; and that he should submit the proposition, at an early day, tu the council." In a siihsiniiciit ilisoatch uf Mr kive.. of Ihe 9th November, 1B30, he says, "tfia dispositions ul Ihe King, as well Willi regnrd to this tubje it (the American claims,) as lo Ihe generul relations between Ihe two cnuu, tries, are every thing we could desire. The difficulty exists in the extreme reliiotanoe of me nation lo par nnr more indemnities. n,l the necessity which Ihe Government feels it- self under of consulting the representatives of Ihe niitiun,aiid of securing their approbation to nny iirinngcinent uhich may he nils'- inaieiy couciuoeo. i no commission, or Ihe formation nf which, I have already apprized you, has grown entirely out ot this feeling s On tb" occasion of an iimliinee wifh Iho King, Mrltivs, in his dispatch of the I8:h January, Iflll, .ajsihut the King,in replying to hi! remark, "reiterated the sentiments he had heritoforo rx resei tome, nnd referred to thp measures he h id taken, with a view to, bring the ih rencs tu-i-v en Ihe two countries to a cuiieluiioii ." nT,e King proceeded lo sny Ihat, since reading tho Pre ident's messngo, he hnd "remonstrated' acaiii.l nil imneeeMiiry delays in the prose, eutiou nf the hu.iuis., und assuring me Ihat every thing should be done, on his part, to hrin j it to the enrliest termination, notwithstanding H,c disastrous state rf their finances " Tho cnintrlitinn appointed (o examine r ur claims, made their report. The majority of four, rejeeiine our olaitn growing out of the . Berlin and Milan decrees, us well at Ihe Rarahnuillel, and nlhcr special decrees, csti-inaicd Ihe sum to which they supposed the United States lo he fairly i nlit'ed, according lo Mr River, at between ten und fifteen millions nf frme.t, uud the minority of two, ndinitling the claim', rijeolctl by their colleagues, at thirty millions. In mi iuicmew between the French Minitler uf Foreigu Affairs nnd Mr Rives, described in hi dispatch of the Will of April, 83i, tho minister "tpok6 of the intrinsic difficulty ef nil money qnet. tion in a representative government, increased in Iho present instance by the iilurist unanimous report of the commission. ' In another interview with Ihe President of tbo Council of Ministers, described iu tbeSMma dispatch of Mrltivis, Mr Pernor said, He felt nil the importance of cultivating good relations with Ihe United Stales; and that ho was sincerely desirous of adjusting ibis undent controversy ; but that their finances, as I saw, wero exceedingly deranged ; and that there would be great difficulty in rccon. eilini the Chamber of Dnpu'ies lo an additional charge, on Ihe snft'f bled resources of Ihe State, for claims, too, which had nut arisen from nny wrong done by the present Government of France ' In the snmc dispatch, Mr Rivet reports, "the King expreitrd. at he lint always done, very cordial senli. mentt for tho United Slates ; said he had fro-quently called Ihe attention of his Ministers to Ihe necessity of settling our reclamations; that (hny had always objected the embarrassed stale of tho (iiiiincc,hut he hoprd they would yet find tha meant of doing justice. in a dispatch of Mr Hives of Ihe 7lh (May, IR3l,ocmmntiicnting Ihc offer of twenty millions of linnet, in .'nil satisfaction of our claim, and his declining to accept it, he ttatet the Frcnoh minitler to have replied, "that the ulfer h had just made wat one of extreme libcrnlily; Ihat it would subject the ministers ton sevuro responsibility before Ihe Chambers; that he had been alreuily warned from various qiiarlcis, that lie would be htlil loa strict acoouiit for hit leltlement of Ibis affair." Iu Ihe tame dispatch, Mr Rivet dc tails a conversation which he had had with tho ('resilient of the council respecting the amount of nor claims, in which he mid "that it wnt particularly haul that the burden of their adjustment should now fall upon the existing Government, in Ihe pretrnt crippled stato of ill resources, and when nil of its ex. pensot ware upon war fooling; and that it wat certainly nut (he interest of either nun. try to make an arrangement which the Iciit- uuiuuiuj ueiu ujigui rciuie to carry into execution." ' In another dispatch of Mr Rirct, of the 20lh May, IH3I, he relalet a conversation in an interview with Iho I'rcsidenl of Ihe Council. That Minister, Mr Rivet stales, "then said, Ihat hut for the Chambers thcro would be less difficulty iu arranging this quoslion; but that hn apprehended a very serious on position to it on their part, which might t. n more seriously embroil tho relations uf the iwo cuuniries, oy reiusiug to carry into eje-cution any annnitciuen't nhich should be made." He added, "that two mouths sooner or Inter, could not be ol muoh importance in the settlement ol Hut question, and asked ma if there would be nny objection lo adjourning ill decision till the meeting of the Chambers, when the ministers could have an op. porlunily of consulting tomoof the lending member! of tho (wo Houses." This postponement wat objected to by Mr Rivet, nod wnt not insisted upon. During Ihe progress of the negotiation, the prinoiplo of indemnity wat early oonoeded. Tho Frenoh minister first offered fifteen mil. lions of francs. Mr Rivet demanded forty. The French minister advanced lo twenty, to twenty-four, nnd finally, with eltrcmo reluo-tnncc, to twenty live, At tho point of twenty four, Mr Rivet cnuiD down to Ihirty-two at (he medium ht tween the Iwo proposals. At thai of twenty-five the Frcnoh mirislcn an-nnunced it as Iheir ullimntum; nnd, in a, ditpalohof Mr Rivet of Ihe 14th June, 1831, he reporti the French minister to have laid, "that It wat tha opinion of tho most cnligh. tened ami influential men, membon of both Chambers, that the offer of twenty.foiir mill, lions, heretofore made, was greatly too much i hat-, , , , and other lead. ing nieinovrs nf Ihe ono Chamber nt the other, whom he mentioned, hud already expressed that opinion to him, uud pmphali. e illy warned him of Iho tenons mfTicnlliri tr which this affair would expose ministers.."
